PUBG Corporation Officially Releases Statement, To Break OFF with Tencent

PUBG Mobile may get unbanned in India sooner than many players expected. In a recent blog post on PUBG official website, the PUBG Corporation has officially released its statement regarding the recent ban on the game in India. India had the biggest player base of PUBG Mobile in the world and ever since the ban has happened the numbers of users are falling at a rapid pace. This was going to cause panic not only for Tencent games but also for PUBG Corporation Bluehole. PUBG Corporation is a South Korean based game maker and still holds the intellectual property rights of PUBG Mobile.

PUBG Corporation Statement About the Ban in India: 

PUBG Corporation is actively monitoring the situation around the recent bans of PUBG MOBILE Nordic Map: Livik and PUBG MOBILE Lite in India. It has seen an overwhelming amount of support for the game from the country’s player base and would like to thank the community for their passion and enthusiasm.

PUBG Corporation fully understands and respects the measures taken by the government as the privacy and security of player data is a top priority for the company. It hopes to work hand-in-hand with the Indian government to find a solution that will allow gamers to once again drop into the battlegrounds while being fully compliant with Indian laws and regulations.

In light of recent developments, PUBG Corporation has made the decision to no longer authorize the PUBG MOBILE franchise to Tencent Games in India. Moving forward, PUBG Corporation will take on all publishing responsibilities within the country. As the company explores ways to provide its own PUBG experience for India in the near future, it is committed to doing so by sustaining a localized and healthy gameplay environment for its fans.

PUBG MOBILE is the mobile version of PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS (PUBG), an intellectual property owned and developed by PUBG Corporation, a South Korean gaming company. The company is actively engaged in developing and publishing PUBG on multiple platforms, including PUBG MOBILE in select territories, to provide the best player experiences possible.
